It's 'Bond. James Bond' at Wolf Trap

As the audience enjoys Carl Davis conducting the National Symphony Orchestra in his program, “The Music of James Bond,” at Wolf Trap on Thursday, they not only will hear the larger-than-life movie scores and theme songs, but also, they will receive an enlightening lesson in British/American pop culture.

The program, developed by Davis (a prolific composer of movie and television scores in his own right), presents a thrilling tribute to the international man of espionage by way of the films’ composers from Lionel Bart to Bill Conti to John Barry and Burt Bacharach.
